Named Webster

Famous quotes containing the words named and/or webster:

    Histories of the world omitted China; if a Chinaman invented compass or movable type or gunpowder we promptly “forgot it” and named their European inventors. In short, we regarded China as a sort of different and quite inconsequential planet.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)

    Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens.
    —Daniel Webster (1782–1852)
